  "In short, this is a world-premiere recording most urgently to be acquired. The overture alone should be enough to tempt readers but, if not, the poignant chorus ‘For Saul, for Jonathan, they fast, they weep’ should do the trick."
BBC MUSIC MAGAZINE JANUARY 2001

'Classical CD of the week'  Daily Telegraph 29 April 2000

"This fresh and imaginative piece boasts a seemingly inexhaustible flow of delightful melody and countless felicitous examples of vocal and instrumental word-painting that recall the Handel of Acis and Galatea."
"The performance is fully worthy of this fine music - the excellent singers and players are all on top form - and the sound has a wonderful crystalline clarity." Elizabeth Roche, Daily Telegraph 29 April 2000

" . . .there are moments of very individual poetry, of exalted feeling, of typically graceful, 'rural' English melody, and of sturdy, stirring music." Stanley Sadie, Gramophone May 2000.

"I found Lea-Cox's spirited direction a constant pleasure; he has an effective understanding of style and chooses his tempi discerningly.
"Following an auspicious start, Boyce introduces us to one delight after another. I was enchanted throughout."
Nicholas Anderson, BBC Music Magazine May 2000

  "This recording certainly should give delight into the next century: not only is the music enchanting, the performances are full of subtlety and eloquence as well as enthusiasm and spirit."
Hi-Fi News September 1998

"The playing of The Hanover Band is admirably crisp."
BBC Music Magazine August 1998

"The Hanover Band are consistently crisp and elegant."
Classic CD July 1998

"To anyone who relishes the particular flavour of English music of the mid-eighteenth century, this record is not one to be missed ... I shall be playing it repeatedly."
Gramophone June 1998

"This recording certainly should give delight well into the next century: not only is the music enchanting, the performances are full of subtlety and eloquence as well as enthusiasm and spirit."
HI-FI News September 1998

"But the highest praise for this recording is due to the players of The Hanover Band and to the conductor Graham Lea-Cox. Together they capture exactly Boyce's combination of sturdiness and elegance."

  "Mackerras draws commited and expressive playing from the orchestra and his tempi are invariably well-chosen. Donizetti's evocative orchestration sounds more impressive than ever...  The Hungarian soprano Andrea Rost is a vocally dazzling Lucia"
BBC Music Magazine October 1998

" With The Hanover Band in excellent form, the orchestral side of things is well catered for."
Daily Telegraph 5 September 1998

"This is not only more genuinely authentic, but is also a performance whose vibrant vigour would have a theatre audience on its feet, cheering."

Haydn Symphonies for Hyperion Records

' Much as I admire Hogwood's performances, I find myself turning even more eagerly to the Hyperion series with Roy Goodman directing The Hanover Band. The period strings are sweeter, and I can recommend every one of the first seven discs to have appeared'
The Guardian 2003

'Goodman and The Hanover Band respond to the music's astonishing boldness and inventive vigour with uncommon freshness and dramatic immediacy'.

  "At the risk of repeating myself, this disc exhibits all the same qualities as the best of the earlier discs in the cycle, not least a wonderful sense of energy and, where appropriate, unabashed enjoyment, which I find completely captivating.... such unflagging rhythmic energy and clarity of texture that I can think of no other ancient-instrument performances which are preferable. Delectable."
